Is there any market for story tapes
Comment from : @lornahopf2477

Great Info but that Gza Liquid Swords cassette isn't before Wu Tang it's Gza solo album
Comment from : @RickyGrattage-z5w

I must be super old I’ve never heard of any of them IMP, more money than brains to pay these crazy amounts
Comment from : @MeCB2012

Your thrifting joy is so fun, lol- keep hunting!
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

GZA is pronounced "Jizzuh"
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

There were only 10,000 Raekwon Purple Tapes issued as the intial run, that is why so expensive
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

The sealed Korn tape is not a demo but a promo/sampler
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

Do a video on VHS! Sealed though, not recorded over, lol
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

The difference on the 2Pac sales of "All Eyez On Me" is that the more expensive one was sealed
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

The Gza is a memeber of the Wu Tang Clan- GZA was not 'Wu Tang before Wu-Tang'- that album was a solo spinoff of their 1993 debut album "Enter the Wu Tang"
Comment from : @SealedCassettes

Thats a sweet score i buy cassettes for myself and i rarely find anything good for cheap let alone sealed! Good for you 👍
Comment from : @skittlesbelong

No cassette is worth 1000 dollars You should be ashamed of yourself taking advantage of people like that Even worse, you teach others how to do it too It's not right to screw people over like that to line your own pockets
Comment from : @keithflowers9096

I still have 8 track and cassettes from way back But not new and figured used would not sell!
Comment from : @susanarrington9371

gza is a member of wutang its a solo albulm
Comment from : @lovelightrivers

some people listening rap ? Really? it's the worse kind of music
Comment from : @quebecforce111

Please do make a video on old recorded on vhs tapes!
Comment from : @austinlavs9399

I heard CD's are making a come back as well
Comment from : @MrSpookie01

I'm one of the people that have that Tommy Wright tape I always got 2 copies back in the day when they were released I have some real rare stuff, but will never sell lol One positive thing about living in Memphis It released in 96 though, not 98 like they say
Comment from : @playboy9o1

Wow, you are so wrong on so many of the details of all the hip-hop tapes that it was hard to even watch Say less or verify GZA (pronounced Jizz•ah) LIQUID SWORDS did not come out before Wu-tang’s album A simple search would show release dates and that it was his second album Wu-Tang artists had contracts that allowed them to pursue their own music All of them wer signed to different labels, it had never been done before The fact that you know nothing about Tupac’s double album release and ramble on is just WILD All these people thanking you for misinforming them about the music too 🤪Just talk about the eBay part and keep it brief on the tapes you clearly won’t or don’t have time to research
Comment from : @extrasmokedragon3915

Thank you so much for this video My husband usually finds the cassettes I found a promo vinyl today Promo version Sold comps 60 to 90 bucks I bought for 25 cents!!
Comment from : @haleymahurin

Do you test cassettes before listing? if so how? and do you mention tested or untested in the listing?
Comment from : @shannongreenlaw88

The best hype stickers are the 25 cent Goodwill or Savers price tags to leave on the cassetteLOL I sold my original Dr Dre Chronic Cassette for $120 on Ebay (used) this was the original release from the 90's
Comment from : @chaicharin

what a way for a white girl to get a lesson in hard core rap you go girl
Comment from : @ezrhino100

Great stuff but I would add in this area, sealed is a completely different segment than used New is a no brainer Used is a lot more complicated Albums, CDs, cassettes, even 8 tracks Same dynamic Sealed worth mint Pre-owned it's a wild west and you're battling Discogs and many other platforms Need to learn a lot more minutiae! Thx for the always spot on info and I love that you talk fast like me! xo
Comment from : @OhMagooYouveDoneItAgain

I kept my Michael Jackson "Thriller" its used but in good condition
Comment from : @billyjack2010

Comment from : @Challender

I have a vhs tape it’s a movie and on the back in red letters it says you should not own or sell this tape 😳 and if you have it call this 800 number 😱 what should I do with it 🤔 thanks
Comment from : @JamesBrey-i8y

I have a box of 8 tracks One million US dollars or best offer
Comment from : @SuperChampionRocker

The GZA tape is actually after wu tang it’s there solo project
Comment from : @leelaurie8789

Never thought old cassette tapes would have any value I have all of my 80’s hair band cassettes I saved them because unlike now you can copy and convert them to digital So in that sense I see the value
Comment from : @anthonyg4761

genius videos, I really ppreciated your knowledge
Comment from : @wr7819

Wonder if tape recorders have gone up in value?
Comment from : @tecewashere1230

Comment from : @Timetraveler1111MN

Still have my tape collection and have a vintage vehicle and boom box to rock them Interesting to know about the market of tapes
Comment from : @soniaz1487

I’m sorry guys It’s just not true It’s just like saying the white album of The Beatles is worth a lot of money No it’s not you get some 80s fun punk music this worth $4000 a record I have no value that please don’t collect cassette I’m begging you don’t fall for the trap collect Costume Jewelry gold silver Waterford anything but cassettes it’s like collecting beanie babies there is no just because she found one do you want to go around wasting your gas money looking for that or do you wanna look for gold and true treasure
Comment from : @mikeallen5907

"Casey Kasem"???brNote to self: You have GOT to find younger, more hipster YouTube channels!brbrbrbr[heh-heh]
Comment from : @TheGregPerry

GZA, pronounced Jizza, is a member of The Wu-Tang Clan, but the groups album had already been put out prior to this one After the group album, the 8 members put out solo albums The GZA's album was the 4th solo album br He did actually have an album that came out prior to the formation of Wu-Tang, but he went only by The Genius on that album
Comment from : @apartmenta4439

Metal and chrome tapes are not made anymore because they are too expensive to produce and the materials needs are too expensive and/or environmentally unfriendly, thus their high price
Comment from : @nicholassheffo5723

Purple tape!
Comment from : @MrJbee73

So GZA is a part of WuTang This is his first release after he became associated with them He still raps i believe Great Find!
Comment from : @MrJbee73

Killing it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Comment from : @jacksonduval4995

I learned I should quit thrifting and become a rapper!
Comment from : @GenosFinds

GZA is NOT pre-Wu-Tang! That is a SOLO album by one of the members of the WU TANG CLAN by the name of GZA, pronounced JIH-ZAH! that album came after the 36 Chambers album 💿
Comment from : @andyg3000

bMy mind is blown Wowunfortunately my thrift stores are littered with garbage Someone also told me that film cameras sell!! Crazy/b
Comment from : @birdy1numnum

GZA is pronounced Gizah
Comment from : @raedog68

I have lot of cassette tape to will check them out people keep telling me to throw them out
Comment from : @RogerNatale

this is not before wutang this is gza from the wu-tang clan he did an album on his own post wutang making it big, not before
Comment from : @sentinelofchrist5718

Thanks for the great content! His name is pronounced Gizza and he’s 1 of the 9 members in the Wu-tang clan All the members came out with solo albums and Liquid Swords is one of GZA’s best solo albums Great video it’s very informative I appreciate it 👌
Comment from : @JirehForever

"Wu Tang before Wu Tang" is incorrect information you received It's the second solo record from GZA, one of the Wu Tang members "Liquid Swords" is considered a classic these days Amazing finds on all these sealed cassettes
Comment from : @chiefchimp2789

Thanks for sharing also this great infobrFYIbrGZA is a member of the Wu-Tang clan brThat is one of his tapes NOT Before Wu-Tang was Wu-Tang
Comment from : @clevelandflipper7611

Do the record companies allow profits to be made this way? I'm surprised! (But some people buy recordings as investments so it should be allowed?)
Comment from : @johnkean6852

Can't they record these and make MORE money? Is that allowed?
Comment from : @johnkean6852

Can you make a video on VHS TAPES Kid videos like Barney, wiggles, Pokémon What about vhs recorded cartoons, Pokémon from tv?
Comment from : @belencantu7200

Whoever told you that about the GZA tape is incorrect They were Wu-Tang from the beginning and had already launched their debut album 4 years before this GZA album came out Most of the members of Wu-Tang released a solo album following the success of their debut group album and that's all this is Liquid Swords is considered one of the most iconic Wu-Tang solo albums though, hence the hefty demand and price
Comment from : @jimteja

Yes make a video about VHS home recorded tapes, I have about 3,000
Comment from : @MagusRealm

So helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Comment from : @hollyhock4160

doesn't the strip inside the tape lose quality over time? Like it would eventually lose the music recording I think
Comment from : @Sammzor

Nice video on the cassettes As far as the VHS, selling pre-recorded VHS is a no-no on ebay I have sold some but recently they have started taking them down, mine included Maybe others may have better luck but I decided against trying it anymore as I thought about the fact that someone could record something on a tape that if I sold it could get me in a lot of trouble I don't want to watch the whole tape all the way through to make sure there is nothing nefarious recorded on there Something to think about
Comment from : @bkjustice9390

Great now you have 13,000 people hunting for cassette tapes
Comment from : @nickhummer5775

This video crashed the cassette tape market Now i cant sell tapes on ebay Thanks
Comment from : @danielfiore8865

Yes ma'am I learned that my sealed tapes and cassette singles in the cardboard sleeves might just be worth a nice chunk of change 😁 great video ,keep up the good work 🙂
Comment from : @stlrsfan27

You're awesome! Thanks for the info!
Comment from : @Joe_fr0sty

I always look for anything punk and metal on vinyl or cassette, even 8-track It's not easy to find but the more obscure the better It's a much more popular genre now than in the 70's and 80's and the supply is much less than demand
Comment from : @TheDude0fLife

Cassettes are hot garbage so I am glad people can make money on this junk This confirms the adage of fools and their money as soon parted
Comment from : @qwertyzxaszc6323

Wow Just found your channelthanks for such great information!
Comment from : @beachcitiesthrifting777

NICE ! 😊
Comment from : @John-zi4ii

Liquid swords dropped by GZA is one of the first solo albums after wutangs collective album dropped, Enter the wutang, 2 years prior Certain old rap groups have massive followings and wutang is definitely one of them
Comment from : @bustabee143

I have been buying cassettes and selling for over a year now Agree with everything you said Not a lot in my area, but I snag any 90s Hip Hop, Metal, Punk, or Alternative They are quick sellers at $20 and up (even used)
Comment from : @bean6344

I laughed out loud when you described the GZA tape GZA is one of the members of the Wu Tang Clan and this is his solo cassette which was very popular This is not pre-Wu Tang at all and in fact it’s actually after Wu Tang was regularly making music GZA aka the Genius is the best lyricist in the group and this album was fire See BIBLE Great track By the way Raekwon is another member of the Wu Tang I had all these albums but on CD Who would have guessed the tapes would be worth more than the cds
Comment from : @nomandatoryvaxing7433

That’s not Wu-Tang before they started It’s just one of the members and one of his popular solo album
Comment from : @paulamodeo7210

Figures I held on to mine until moving a few years back Not sure what I did them
Comment from : @MispelledOnPurpose

I learned this a couple years back I sold a sealed Pink Floyd cassette for $125(probably WAY to cheap, by today's standards) Definitely an eye opener
Comment from : @Johnny_Ultimate

Great video, lots of great information Fun Fact: Queen It's a Kind of Magic is the unofficial Highlander Soundtrack Cuts from the album include the 'Princes of the Universe" Highlander theme song Used in the movie and the series "Gimme the Prize (Kurgan's Theme)" and "Who Wants to Live Forever"
Comment from : @PatrickMurphyTM

i cannot believe that you dont know GZA This is his 2nd album He is not really pre Wu Tang, he is a member of the Wu Tang Clan This is one of the best Wu albums in my opinion I have this one and the 2pac, but on vinyl first press Great video!
